ghtop
================

`ghtop` provides a number of views of all current public activity from
all users across the entire GitHub platform. (Note that GitHub delays
all events by five minutes.)

## Install

Either `pip install ghtop` or `conda install -c fastai ghtop`.

## How to use

Run `ghtop -h` to view the help:

$ ghtop -h
usage: ghtop [-h] [--include_bots] [--types TYPES] [--pause PAUSE] [--filt {users,repo,org}] [--filtval FILTVAL] {tail,quad,users,simple}

positional arguments:
{tail,quad,users,simple} Operation mode to run

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--include_bots Include bots (there's a lot of them!) (default: False)
--types TYPES Comma-separated types of event to include (e.g PushEvent) (default: )
--pause PAUSE Number of seconds to pause between requests to the GitHub api (default: 0.4)
--filt {users,repo,org} Filtering method
--filtval FILTVAL Value to filter by (for `repo` use format `owner/repo`)

There are 4 views you can choose: `ghtop simple`, `ghtop tail`,
`ghtop quad`, or `ghtop users`. Each are shown and described below. All
views have the following options:

- `--include_bots`: By default events that appear to be from bots are
excluded. Add this flag to include them
- `--types TYPES`: Optional comma-separated list of event types to
include (defaults to all types). For a full list of types, see the
GitHub [event types
docs](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/github-event-types)
- `--pause PAUSE`: Number of seconds to pause between requests to the
GitHub api (default: 0.4). It is helpful to adjust this number if you
want to get events more or less frequently. For example, if you are
filtering all events by an org, then you likely want to pause for a
longer period of time than the default.
- `--filt` and `--filtval`: Optionally filter events to just those from
one of: `user`, `repo`, or `org`, depending on `filt`. `filtval` is
the value to filter by. See the [GitHub
docs](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/rest/reference/activity#list-public-events)
for details on the public event API calls used.

**Important note**: while running, `ghtop` will make about 5 API calls
per second. GitHub has a quota of 5000 calls per hour. When there are
1000 calls left, `ghtop` will show a warning on every call.

### ghtop simple

A simple dump to your console of all events as they happen.

### ghtop tail

Like [`simple`](https://ghtop.fast.ai/ghtop.html#simple), but only
includes releases, issues and PRs (open, close, and comment events). A
summary of the frequency of different kind of events along with
sparklines are shown at the top of the screen.

### ghtop quad

The same information as `tail`, but in a split window showing separately
PRs, issues, pushes, and releases.

### ghtop users

A summary of activity for the most active current users.
